Court: Chennai

Decided on: Aug-26-1996

Reported in: (1996)IILLJ885Mad

ORDERS.M. Abdul Wahab, J.1. This writ petition is for quashing the award of the second respondent in I.D.No. 84 of 1984 dated March 19, 1986.2. The case of the petitioner is that he was employed in the first respondent - company as an Accountant. Originally under the Bye-laws, the superannuation age was 55 years. He had to retire on June 23, 1982. But on July 23, 1979 the Registrar of Co- operative Societies issued a direction to increase the age of superannuation from 53 to 58. The petitioner was not given the benefit of extension. He was superannuated on June 23, 1982. Hence he raised an industrial dispute. The Labour Court has dismissed the claim of the petitioner. The petitioner has stated that there was an original proposal to extend the age with reference to 7 persons. The other persons were given extension, but the petitioner was not. Hence, there was discrimination. This aspect has not been properly considered by the Labour Court. Therefore, he has filed this writ petition for ...

Court: Chennai

Reported in: (1997)ILLJ923Mad

K.A. Swami, C.J.1. As the matter lies in a very narrow compass and as the contesting respondent is represented, it is admitted and heard for final disposal. 2. This appeal is preferred against the order dated February 8, 1996 passed by the learned single Judge, dismissing W.P. 11035 of 1995, in which the petitioner/appellant has sought for quashing the award dated March 28, 1994 passed in I.D. 309 of 1993. 3. Learned Single Judge has rejected the writ petition on the ground that even though twice an opportunity was given to the writ petitioner/appellant, it did not avail of the same and did not adduce evidence, therefore the jurisdiction under Article 226 should not be exercised in favour of such a party. Accordingly, learned single Judge has rejected the writ petition. 4. Before us, it is contended that the award is not a speaking order, in as much as it neither considers evidence, nor gives reason for passing the award, directing the 2nd respondent to be reinstated with backwages, co...
